| When was the last time you received kindness from somebody? When was the last time you extended an act of kindness to someone else, and to what end? As it turns out, there can be tremendous merits and outcomes in paying forward a kindness received with a good deed to somebody else, especially when done out of gratitude. The concept of "Paying It Forward" is nothing new, but in our world, I believe we could do with more compassion and selflessness as it brings out the best in us. | | The Art of Paying it Forward Without Spending a Dime When we pay it forward we commit an act of selflessness that transcends our connection to other humans on the planet, elevating the human experience in a positive way. Whether it’s a showing of kindness, faith, or even compassion, it all makes a difference and can potentially trigger a chain reaction of reciprocated behavior. | | The Power of Altruism Classical economics adopts a model that says people are primarily driven by material self-interest. Political science assumes that people are driven to maximize their power. But this worldview is clearly wrong. In real life, the push of selfishness is matched by the pull of empathy and altruism. This is not Hallmark card sentimentalism but scientific fact: As babies our neural connections are built by love and care. We have evolved to be really good at cooperation and empathy. We are strongly motivated to teach and help others. | | The Paying it Forward Paradox | Wayne Baker | TEDxUofM | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones. Let me know if I can be of help to someone you know or care about. We can make a difference to lives when it matters most.

Started with just another agent to sell you things . But as my life started to get difficult and started business after losing my job , she was still there ! And supporting us through the years even we bought very few insurance policies . She was ever so friendly and supportive and non intrusive. And over the years saw us and nudge us to take better care of ourselves by way of telling us what to do along the way . Almost a godsend! | | | | MuiLai Celebrating my friendship with Ong Claudia!
I got to know Claudia from a gym about 7 years ago. We hardly spoke initially as our workout schedules were different. She was the one who broke the ice with a very warm “hello”. Later, I got to know she is an insurance agent. Subsequently, we hung out often and more so when we were preparing for our Hyrox race.
We are both moms (she has 4 kids btw!) and share the same passion for exercise, something that is crucially important especially for women at our age, to safeguard against bone density issues and broken bones in a fall. “We have to build muscles around our joints” has always been my motto.
Always first a friend and then a completely dependable insurance agent. She is the most hardworking friend / agent I know and she serves with a full heart. Because I exercise frequently and often quite clumsily, a personal accident plan became a must-have. When I needed help, Claudia is always just a phone call away. She dealt with all my claims super efficiently. When it came to contentious ones, she never shied away and followed up so closely and answered all the difficult questions on my behalf that I hardly needed to do anything but just wait for the $ to come in. The assurance and confidence she gave me when managing my policies and claims is really priceless.
I just want to say, thanks for the friendship and always making time and lending a listening ear, my awesome buddy! Cheers to more great time together building a healthier mind and body! | | | | Louis I would like to introduce Claudia
